Which maps and apps made it to the 2017 Esri Canada Calendar & Apps of the Month?

In celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017, we invited select organizations from various industries across the country to submit their maps and apps for our Calendar and Apps of the Month. Find out which maps and apps made the cut.

In celebration of Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017, instead of holding our annual contests, we invited select organizations from various industries across the country to submit their maps and apps to be considered for our Calendar and Apps of the Month. The result is a collection of beautiful maps and useful apps that integrate geography and information to deepen our understanding of the various challenges our country faces.

Our 2017 print calendar will feature 13 maps, and 13 apps will be showcased as our Apps of the Month on our blog and website home page throughout the year.

Here’s a sneak peek at the selections. Explore each map or app by selecting the links below.

Thanks to all who submitted their maps and apps. We look forward to seeing more of your submissions next year.
